Much like The Tibethan Book of the Dead by Timothy Leary this album delivers like a psychedelic punch in the face trip. Intros or Interludes/intermezzos with silent and ethereal ceremonial lead ins until the climax or mountain plateau if you will throws you over with a bang of new breath. The album is kept in tibethan manner, extremely innovative and non conformistic as far as genres go. You will conquer riffs backed by saxophones and then followed by ass kicking pounding metal only to relax to an ambient chillout clarity with the next trip. A journey any music listener wouldn't forget... ever.
